I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

My clients tend to be highly reflective individuals who have already begun a journey of self-discovery- either through therapy, spiritual / psychedelic practice, or self-study. They often have core wounds holding them back from cultivating the meaning and joy they are deeply seeking in their lives. As a therapist, my role is to cultivate a container of trust that allows the client to access their innate inner wisdom. Together, we utilize a range of therapeutic modalities to support the client's somatic healing and increase their capacity to sit in a state of radical acceptance. If this approach resonates, reach out!

It is a true honor to be able to provide a warm and safe space for healing.

The act of coming to therapy is a brave one, and you should commend yourself for doing it – you are taking proactive steps to create the life you want. I view therapy as an opportunity for you to evaluate the stories you and others tell about who you are, identify the storylines that are not serving you, and construct new narratives that focus on your strengths which can help you take a more active stance in your life. This process is simple but powerful, and I believe deeply that it can help all of us isolate and move past the problems that have worked their way into our lives, helping us to reclaim our power.
